They've had that fear since 2016-2018, that if they werent kissing the ring, Trump waives them away and suddenly there is a new well financed primary challenger praising the GOP overlord and promptly replacing the years long incumbent. Even though no one had ever heard of them before the money'd kingmakers had them installed.
Lawmakers hiding behind fear not only hints of some form of GOP ptsd, but also that it would be the perfect time for them to realize they can change it by fixing the campaign expenditure spending.
I don't pretend to have a deep understanding of it all, but with the rise of the internet and the rise of foreign and domestic bot/astroturfing/disinformation farms, it's time the courts revisit it. And what better time than when the ones with all the power to change things come from the same money group.
Hopefully they get tired of being cowed into submission and decide they don't actually want to live in fear of doing the job they were elected to do.
